BEIJING OLYMPICS IN THE ROANNAIS! by Brian Franklin

What a games! What a performance by Team GB!

Yes we're here in France, and have been watching all the action every morning.

I could not resist adding our congratulations here on the Purefrancenow 'Blog' and emphasising our support for all the British Team's very successful efforts. Well done!!

The best  British Olympic results for 100 years, and virtually every day a British gold medal being won.

Much to the chagrin of our French locals!

It makes a change that we have done so well on the Sporting World Stage this time.

19 Golds, 13 Silver, and 15 Bronze – 47 Olympic medals in total! Finishing in 4th position overall.

And remarkably, during most of the games we were in 3rd place, with China 1st and America 2nd.

Let's hope that we do just as well in the London Olympics 2012 !!
